Indigenous Peoples and the Right to Self-Determination

The signing of international instruments such as ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples were based on the aforementioned study by Martínez Cobo, which defined the concept of Indigenous Peoples. Putting concepts such as decolonization and self-determination on the agenda is part of the legacy of the Indigenous Peoples’ struggles of the 1970s and 1980s. One of the most significant results of these efforts was the 1986 study by José Martínez Cobo, then Special Rapporteur of the UN Special Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. This study was the culmination of a process of mobilization of Indigenous Peoples in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania for their recognition at the international level, particularly at the UN, where, along with the fight against racism and discrimination, decolonization was one of their most important tasks. Countless Indigenous people are working to revitalize our ceremonies, languages, education systems, and lifeways. We’re continuing ancient traditions and anchoring a world view of Indigenous identity, connecting nature back to people.

1.3. Enabling Development Projects to Be Competitive in Mainstream Funding

Through this unprecedented number of co-stewardship agreements, the Biden-Harris administration has demonstrated our commitment to acknowledge and empower tribes as partners in the management of our nation’s lands and waters. From the transfer of the Dworshak National Fish Hatchery to the Nez Perce Tribe in Idaho to the historic co-management of Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, we are working together for the shared stewardship of ancestral homelands, with Indigenous Knowledge as our guide. The limitations and strengths of the review centre on the appropriateness and relevance of reviews to address Indigenous issues 99. The potential limitations of this review include poor indexing of studies in databases, a lack of tested protocols for conducting systematic reviews in Indigenous health, and the potential for inclusion of more grey literature. In response, given the poor indexing of studies in electronic databases, it is possible that some studies were missed; however, there is transparency in the extensive search strategy. The review is limited by the reality that currently most health research is written, reviewed, and published by non-Indigenous scholars and journals in academic systems that are founded in colonial systems.

• Currently, given that institution affiliation is a requirement of funding, the exclusion of ICCOs is seen as a consistent barrier to growing their capacity.
• He also slammed the neighbouring country for subjecting the Kashmiri people to wide-ranging gross, systematic human rights violations, while crushing the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people for self-determination and freedom.
• Regrettably, the president said India has been denying this right to the people of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) for over seven decades and subjecting them to oppression, violence, and systemic brutalities.
• Decolonial methods honor governance and ICCO worldviews and knowledge systems when conducting research with ICCOs 28.

The president went on to say that India has been denying this right to the people of the disputed valley for over seven decades and subjecting them to oppression, violence, and systemic brutalities.

Our funders are not resourcing their ideas of what our work should look like; they’re making our innovation and creativity possible, as well as paying reparations for the hundreds of years of genocide we’ve faced. At its core, self-determination ‘is concerned with the fundamental right of people to shape their own lives’. In a practical sense, self-determination means that we have the freedom to live well, to determine what it means to live well according to our own values and beliefs. The Act built on findings from the Kennedy Report on Indian Education, published in 1969, which exposed the systemic failures of federal and mission-run schools.

For example, as staff, directors, project participants, volunteers, organisation members and partners. Murdi Paaki Regional Assembly have encouraged and enabled self-determination in their approach to governance. Settler-colonial states attempted to extinguish the collective identity of groups and remove their links with Country. In other words, they tried to reduce the ‘collective self’ of First Nations to ‘selfish’ (individualistic) determination.

The creation of capacity-bridging initiatives has supported ICCOs and enabled them to lead the development of their own health research priorities and partnerships. ICCOs identified improving research partnerships as an important step toward ICCO leadership in research. Therefore, BC NEIHR ICCO-specific grants provide dedicated funds for community outreach and relationship building to lay the groundwork before research begins.

Our review is not intended as an effectiveness review and involves framework synthesis that is unlikely to substantially change with the inclusion of new evidence 100; additionally, no new studies were located with the grey literature search. We anticipate using the findings from this review to build grey literature search strategies in another, future review. The included studies present the development and/or evaluation of shared decision making interventions as a way to negotiate the impacts of the structural determinants of health or disrupt colonialism in health systems. Place, The Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery in particular the built environment, was reported in the studies to reflect the underlying power dynamics in the relationships, and values of people who control the spaces. We define the concept of “space” to mean a physical space and geography (location, form of built environment). The concept of “place” gives meaning to space, as place is space where values are expressed and there are connections to cultural and personal identity 79.
